"I'm finding myself waking up to the same harsh reality I was hoping was only a bad nightmare. My friend Matt is gone.

"Matt, my brother... You will live forever in my heart! In the hearts of ALL who loved you.

"Some people would wish for a chance to say goodbye. I can't handle this goodbye. So I'll just say, 'See ya next time, bro!' I love you, man.
